Dear fellow lunies,

Between about 05 and 30 May ZK1EME will be active on
2M from Rarotonga (southern Cook Islands).  There may
also be some 6M EME activity.

ZK1EME equipment (all except radio is home made):
2 x 3.2wl X-Pol yagis (BV design modified by VE7BQH)
PA with 8877 (o/p limited by driver and psu)
GaAsFET pre-amp (very low NF)
IC-706MK2G.  

The holiday house is right on the lagoon edge at the
northern side of the island (locator  BG08ct), so
expect some good ground gain on both moonrise and
moonset during northerly declinations!

Operation will be mostly on JT65b . no skeds or
internet,  but "spots" on the N0UX EME Link and
elsewhere would be most appreciated.  I will take CW
skeds during the low degredation days (send your 30
minute sked requests, but remember that I will only
check my e-mail every 3-4 days).  Frequencies will be
announced after the station is assembled and any
birdies are known.  Operation can potentially be from
moonrise to moonset each day, but probably not during
primetime TV hours (03:00z - 09:00z) due to the
hi-band VHF TV system on the island.

Note that the window to Europe is very limited, so I
kindly ask North America to standby until moonset in
Europe and give the guys there a fair chance.

Regular updates and information on Moon-Net during
May.

73,  Bob  ZL1RS / ZK1EME
